That wasn't my main question
If the GPU area is not in use can you fit a PSU?
Thanks for the information. Will you let us from here when it's available? Also, is it certain that there will absolutely be the black version? If so I'll definitely wait for the black version.I sent out the unpainted sample after take a few pictures, so unfortunately I don't have an unpainted version anymore.
I think the black version should be back in late November, once I get around to shipping all the pre-orders. But, time-line is very fluid and it is easy to get hit with delays.
I don't recommend HDPLEX, as their DC-ATX unit has a large heatsink which may cause fitment issues.
I recommend Meanwel RPS + J-Hack Plugin 200X or the PicoPSU 160XT.
It will arrive late November.Any update on when the plugin 200x will be available for sale on your website?
I'm new to the DC-ATX landscape, and after mostly catching up to speed by reading some old posts, I have a few questions:
1) For an APU setup (with a CPU at 65W or less), is there any disadvantage to using the Meanwell RPS-120-12-C instead of the RPS-200-12-C to reduce costs a bit? It seems like the CPU + MB + a few fans would fit well under 120W, but would losses in DC-DC conversion (or any other factors) make this a little too tight?
2) The J-Hack website is unclear on when the PLUGin 160 or PLUGin 200X will be available, and in general, it's not clear what is discontinued vs. temporarily out of stock. Will the PLUGin models and connectors all be in stock before the Pure Mk2 is available? (If not, presumably it would be faster to order a Mini-Box picoPSU-150-XT separately.)
Thehack, thanks for all of the great answers in these forum threads. They have been very informative.
Occasionally there are B (blemished) Stock.Hello @Thehack is there any way to get a J-HACK pure mk2 ?
The case is 190mm "deep" and an ITX Mobo is 170mm, so there is definitely less than 20mm of space available behind the motherboard...HDPLEX just released an ATX power supply: https://hdplex.com/hdplex-fanless-250w-gan-aio-atx-psu.html
With its length plus the length of the power plug it might be pretty tight, but if it fits, it might be a good alternative to the Meanwell RPS-200.
Thanks to its height of just 25mm that might even allow fitting an internal AC-DC PSU and a graphics card at the same time.
The idea would be to have the PSU and the graphics card sandwiched on the other side of the motherboard where more space is available.The case is 190mm "deep" and an ITX Mobo is 170mm, so there is definitely less than 20mm of space available behind the motherboard...
Oh I see. I guess that could probably work with single slot GPUs like an RX6400. A dual slot card is 40mm wide so that would leave again only 20mm or so.The idea would be to have the PSU and the graphics card sandwiched on the other side of the motherboard where more space is available.
